Royal Replenish Drink Package Questions

[love2shell]

Hello! Curious if anyone has used the Royal Replenish Drink Package and has any comments/advice? I was thinking of purchasing this and wanted to ensure that it did in fact include non-alcoholic drinks such as virgin pina coladas, as well as coffee from the coffee bar.

 

Also, is the cup that is included delivered to your state room, or do you have to pick it up somewhere?

 

Thanks!

Non alcoholic drinks are included and the cup is delivered to your stateroom.

I love this package!!! Coffee, juice, sparkling and still water, sodas, ANY nonalcoholic cocktail. I carry two bottles of wine and get great value from this plan.

[sky0000547]

The package includes almost all non-alcoholic drinks i.e soda, non-alcoholic cocktails (virgin pins coladas etc), bottled water, freshly squeezed orange juice & specialty coffee. Milkshakes from Johnny Rockets are not included.

 

If you prepaid your package then the Coca Cola souvenir cup will be delivered to your stateroom. If you purchase the package onboard then you pick up you cup there and then.

Is there a way to carry the soda drink cups around easily that you get with the package? Trying to figure out how to do that.

[N41EF]

You don't have to carry the cups with you, unless there are freestyle machines on the ship you want to use. Show your Seapass card to any bar and they will give you a soda in a bar glass. We take the cups when we go to the pool or shows since they have a lid. The servers in the dining room will ask to see your Seapass card first night, then there are sodas on the table the rest of the cruise.

 

If you pre-pay for the drink package they will be in your room. But you can't get to your room till 1:30 or so. We typically don't pre-pay and go to the pool bar in the adult area and buy the package we want from him, and he'll hand you your cup.

Thanks , we will be on the Allure and I got the replenish package for myself already and will then purchase my oldest DD the soda once we get onboard then. I don't like soda but it looks like since they have the freestyle machines they have some other options for the kids at least.

If you receive a soda package from your TA can you pay the difference to upgrade to the Royal replenish pkg??

What is premium coffee? Where do you get it on the ship, one place or can you get it in the dining room?

No, and imho they are a PITA. Who wants to carry something like that around? I'm sure RCI counts on that to save some money.

 

And while it's true as noted above that you can get soda from a bar if you have a package, the options are far more limited (especially for someone like me who is looking for something non-caffeinated and diet, and typically just wants seltzer).

Why can't you get seltzer at a bar?

 

One more question for those in the know: If you prepay for the replenish, is there something imprinted on your seapass that indicates it? Or do they have to scan your card?

 

I know in the past we have purchased the soda package in advance and had the Coca-Cola symbol on our cards; and just had a sticker added the times we bought it on board.

 

Thanks!

For example on some ships, Cafe Promenade serves Starbucks coffee. These are your premium coffees and teas. You can also get cappuccino etc in the main dining room, these are also classified as premium coffees.

 

The standalone Starbucks on the Oasis class ships are not included in the package.

there should be a sticker on your card

Is it different if you prepay? For the soda only package, it's embossed if you pre-purchase, and a sticker if you purchase on board.

 

Is the sticker for the Replenish package different from a soda-only sticker?

[HappyJ007]

Thanks for all the info.

Just wondering what the cost normally is for nonalcoholic cocktails?

And is there a good selection?

 

I just can't seem to find any pricing or menu for nonalcoholic cocktails.

 

Thanks!

$4 - $5, depending on the ship (and sometimes depending on which bar on the same ship :) ).

 

there is usually a very good selection - the bartenders can make virgin versions of many alcoholic drinks - pina coladas, daquiris, lava flows, mudslides, etc etc. once i get to know a bartender i'll often ask them to surprise me and they come up with some good stuff; one made me a peach/pina colada combo which was delicious, and one brought me a rosewater lemonade (which was a standard drinks at that particular bar - cafe 270 on quantum - but i never would have known it existed if he hadn't told me to try it).

These sound terrific, thanks for the info!

 

So is there a sticker or other indication of the package on your seapass? Or do they have to scan it to check?

whether or not you prepay for replenish, it's a sticker on your card, not embossed on it. i think it's the same for the alcoholic packages, too. i think only the "coca cola" logo gets embossed on the cards for people who prepay for the soda package; any other package gets the sticker, no matter when you pay.

 

the sticker for the replenish package is a little square that says "RR" for royal replenish. i have no idea what the sticker for the soda-only refreshment package looks like.

There is a sticker - we just cross-posted and i talked about it a little bit in my previous post. :p

 

i've gotten replenish 4 times on 4 different ships, and sometimes they scan the card and sometimes they don't. they do seem to have gotten stricter about it, and the last couple of cruises they have scanned the card almost all of the time. at times when i've gotten to know a bartender and they recognize me they will not scan it, but usually they do.

Thanks! I am leaning toward getting this package on our Navigator cruise the end of May.

If you prepay, the Coca Cola logo will be embossed on to your seapass card but the 'RR' (Royal Replenish) package will always be a sticker. If you only have the soda package then it will only have the Coca Cola logo. If you purchase any packages onboard then all will be stickers.

I love this package, and I think it's great value. I typically have a fresh squeezed juice, 2 specialty coffees, 2 or 3 sodas, 2 virgin cocktails and sparkling water. I also take a bottle or two of still water with me on shore trips.

[LMD]

Thanks for all this great information. I know it includes nonalcoholic cocktails. Any chance that it includes nonalcoholic beer?
